Below are photos taken on 10/17/99 of Route 66 near Ludlow,
California, one day after a large 7.0 earthquake struck the Hector
Mines area of California at 2:46 a.m. The Route 66 town of Ludlow,
a few miles north of the epicenter, sustained minor damage according to
news services.

Business appeared to be going on as usual this Sunday. The Ludlow
Coffee Shop showed signs of broken window panes in the front, however
customers were eating inside as they would on an ordinary day. The
neighboring business also displayed no external signs of damage.

A bit further east, the Old Ludlow Cafe, a garage, and other ruins looked
the same as they did just two weeks prior. 10-99
